After a team is accepted, then no refunds will be issued, exceptions as follows:
If the tournament cannot provide a bracket for your team to participate, then you will receive a full refund. An example of this would be if the tournament does not have enough teams to fill your age group.
New for 2025 events, there is an option of purchasing Event Cancellation Insurance for your team's entry fee into our event through GotSport.
For teams that purchase Event Cancellation Insurance here is how it works:
Full Refund for Pre-Tournament Cancellations:
If the event is canceled before the tournament starts due to weather conditions, your insured team will receive 100% of the non-refundable registration fee back. No questions asked.
Pro-Rated Refund for Mid-Tournament Cancellations:
In the event that the tournament is forced to cancel after it has started due to weather conditions, the insured team will receive a refund based on the number of games guaranteed versus the number of games played. This ensures you only pay for the games you’ve played and not a penny more.
Affordable Protection at Just 10% of the Entry Fee
Adding Event Cancellation Team Coverage to your registration is a smart choice for safeguarding against the unexpected. Don’t let the possibility of weather-related cancellations disrupt your team’s plans or financial commitments.
Event Cancellation Insurance can be purchased up to 14 days prior to the event kickoff date. For teams that want to purchase Event Insurance after registration, click this link for instructions.
